The Rattan Hanging EggChair – which has been seen in the homes of cleaning influencer Mrs Hinch and even Stacey Solomon – is no doubt one of the budget supermarket chain’s best-selling items. So much so, that’s it’s near impossible to get your hands on, often being sold out online and nowhere to be seen in store.
When it does come back in stock, it gets snapped up within minutes.
According to the product description on the Aldi website, the Rattan Hanging Egg Chair is “timeless”, can add “a touch of style to your indoor or outdoor spaces” and has a “strong frame and soft cushions allow you to relax comfortably for hours anywhere you choose”.
The description also adds that it’s the “perfect for a comfy corner” and “provides a choice of cosy spots to spend lazy afternoons”.

To cut a long story short, it’s pretty popular.
But if you’ve not had much luck in securing the best seat in the house for yourself, at least now your cat can, as Aldi has this week announced the launch of a brand-new Eco Pet collection as part of its beloved ‘Specialbuys’ range, and while it also includes delights such as a cat igloo, recycled dog toys, and bamboo pet bowls, let’s be honest, it’s the cat-sized egg chair that’s the star of the show.

The cat egg chair is made from hand-woven natural wicker, which hangs from a strong metal frame to keep your furry pal safe and secure, and there’s also a removable inner cushion too for added cosiness.
If you’re keen to join the club of people who’ll presumably be clawing at the opportunity to snap one of these chairs up, it’s important to note that you’ll only be able to buy it online from 23rd May for £34.99, so don’t bother checking the trusty ‘middle aisle’ in your local Aldi branch.
If the human version of the chair is anything to go by, the cat chair will sell out fast, so your best bet is to set an alarm and get clicking fast to avoid dissapointment.

Three tiny ‘chaos potatoes’ have been born at Chester Zoo and they’re so cute

Three tiny ‘chaos potatoes’ have been born at Chester Zoo… and they’re really flipping cute.
Born to parents Maris and Albert in late summer, the three rock hyrax pups – only affectionately known as ‘chaos potatoes’ – have just passed their first vet check with a clean bill of health, and now weigh roughly 350g.
Hyraxes are found across sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East, where they live among rocky landscapes and are most active in daylight.
The litter includes two boys and one girl, and keepers at Chester Zoo have decided to give them potato-themed names – Russ, Spud, and Jackie.

Currently, the three pups are a fraction of the size of the adults, which can weigh up to 4kg, but despite their small stature, they have an unlikely relative.
Believe it or not, rock hyraxes are actually a part of the same evolutionary group as elephants, as well as sirenians, which are the family of aquatic mammals that includes dugongs and manatees.
“Hyraxes are one of those species that you have to look for, but once you’ve seen them, they are fascinating to watch,” explained Megan Carpenter, who is a Keeper at Chester Zoo.
“The pups are little chaos potatoes. They are much more energetic than their parents and sometimes get the zoomies, darting about and testing their climbing and parkour skills.
“In contrast, the adults often wedge themselves into corners and grip on to steep rock faces for hours at a time. They’re incredibly well adapted to living among rocks and are much better climbers than you might expect.”
